Then a flicker of light and they knew they were right

To the sea and the harbour wall
D G B7 Em
They had gathered in pairs at the foot of the stairs
A D
To wait for the radio call
[VERSE 6]
G
And just before dawn, when all hope was gone
C B
Came a hush and a faraway sound
C G Em
'Twas the cox'n he roared, "All survivors on board!"

The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
[intro]
[C]
On a [C] warm summer's evenin' on a [F] train bound for [C] nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to [G7] sleep.
So [C] we took turns a starin' out the [F] window at the [C] darkness
'til [F] boredom over [C] took us, and [G7] he began to [C] speak.
He said, [C] "Son, I've made a life out of [F] readin' people's [C] faces,
and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their [G7] eyes.
And if [C] you don't mind my sayin', I can [F] see you're out of [C] aces.
For a [F] taste of your [C] whiskey I'll [G7] give you some [C] advice."
So I [C] handed him my bottle
and he [F] drank down my last [C] swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a [G7] light.
And the [C] night got deathly quiet,
and his [F] face lost all ex[C]pression.
Said, "If you're [F] gonna play the [C] game, boy,
ya gotta [G7] learn to play it [C] right.
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,
[F] know when to [C] walk away and know when to [G7] run.
You never [C] count your money when you're [F] sittin' at the [C] table.
There'll be [F] time enough for [C] countin' [G7] when the dealin's [C] done.
[C] Ev'ry gambler knows that the [F] secret to surv[C]ivin'
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to [G7] keep.
'Cause [C] ev'ry hand's a winner and [F] ev'ry hand's a [C] loser,
and the [F] best that you can [C] hope for is to [G7] die in your [C] sleep."
And [C] when he'd finished speakin', he [F] turned back towards the [C] window,
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to [G7] sleep.
And [C] somewhere in the darkness the [F] gambler, he broke [C] even.
But [F] in his final [C] words I found an [G7] ace that I could [C] keep.
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,
[F] know when to [C] walk away and know when to [G7] run.
You never [C] count your money when you're [F] sittin' at the [C] table.
There'll be [F] time enough for [C] countin' [G7] when the dealin's [C] done.
Repeat Chorus Scratching only:
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,
[F] know when to [C] walk away and know when to [G7] run.
You never [C] count your money when you're [F] sittin' at the [C] table.
There'll be [F] time enough for [C] countin' [G7] when the dealin's [C] done.
You got to [C] know when to hold 'em, [F] know when to [C] fold 'em,
[F] know when to [C] walk away and know when to [G7] run.
You never [C] count your money when you're [F] sittin' at the [C] table.
There'll be [F] time enough for [C] countin' [G7] when the dealin's [C] done.

[Verse 3]
[C] Something in the [G] wind has [F] learned my [C] name
And it's [Em] tellin' me that [Dm] things are [G] not the [C] same [C7]
In the [F] leaves on the [G7] trees and the [Em] touch of the [A] breeze
There's a [Dm] pleasin' sense of [Fm] happiness for [G] me
[Verse 4]
[C] There is only [G] one wish [F] on my [C] mind
When this [Em] day is through I [Dm] hope that [G] I will [C] find [C7]
That to[F]morrow will [G7] be just the [Em] same for you and [A] me
All I [Dm] need will be [Fm] mine if you are [G] here
